In light of the info about the properties of souls in The Unwanted Guest, I want to shout out that Gideon — with no grounding in the theoretical underpinnings of the subject whatsoever — actually makes basically the same observation about the permeability of the soul at the end of Harrow the Ninth, when she's in Harrow's body and (with some justification) is pretty sure she's about to die in the River:

Harrowhark, did you know that if you die by drowning, apparently your whole life flashes in front of your eyes? I didn't know, as I died and took you along with me—having kept you alive for what, a whole two hours?—whether it was going to show me both. Like, at the end of everything, if it was going to be you and me, layered over each other as we always were. A final blurring of the edges between us, like water spilt over ink outlines. Melted steel. Mingled blood. Harrowhark-and-Gideon, Gideon-and-Harrowhark at last.

‘As we always were’! ‘Melted steel, mingled blood’! (Also interesting that despite saying earlier in the book that all she ever wanted was for Harrow to eat her (oh Gideon), the metaphors Gideon reaches for here are not about consumption ala what Ianthe’s deal and thus traditional lyctorhood is presented as in TUG, it’s about similar and equal substances joining together to a new whole, more like what we see with Paul. I personally feel like a Paul-style merging for Harrow and Gideon is not in the cards and would not be a satisfying ending — it worked as a bittersweet conclusion specifically for Pal and Cam because those two are utterly nuts in all their sanity lol, but I don’t think the series means to present it as The definitive answer to the central question of individuation vs. connection. There is something so moving to me, though, in the fact that right at the end this is what Gideon wants for her and Harrow. Not for Harrow to eat her, not simply to be of use to her, but to be made together from the same stuff. It’s a longing for connection and union that’s finally at least in imagery free from the imbalance within the ultimately hierarchical roles of necromancer and cavalier that Gideon internalizes through her corruption arc in Gideon the Ninth, understandably so as it’s the only model she’s presented with in their society to understand intimacy and attachment and devotion through. But Gideon says Harrowhark-and-Gideon, Gideon-and-Harrowhark at last, mutually and equally. And I’ve written about this before, but at what must be almost exactly the same time, the same process is happening in Harrow’s mind through the evolution in the symbolism of her dream bubbles. Help I am emotions now)

Palamedes is so right, Gideon is a lot smarter than most people -- including Gideon herself -- ever give her credit for.

of all the star wars movies, which of them do y'all 1) enjoy the most 2) consider the best quality and 3) think you've rewatched the most. add your answers in the reblogs or replies, i'm genuinely curious how much of an overlap there is within everyone's three answers. mine don't overlap at all! they're revenge of the sith, empire strikes back, and the force awakens :^)

#len speaks #star wars #revenge of the sith #empire strikes back #the force awakens #not tagging more films than that bc i cant b bothered. incoming tag ramble ahead bc i have sw brainrot rn and im making it everyones prob❤️#i rlly struggled 2 remember if id watched tfa or aotc more. i went w/ tfa bc it was formative to me as a teen and ive seen it probably 6ish #times? whereas aotc was the first sw movie i remember (specifically the scene of obiwan serving c*nt in the bar lmao) but i've only seen it #for sure 4.5 and maybe 5.5 times. the .5 is from when i got bored after obi-wan's scene ended and ran off to go play in the mud or smthn 😭#i'm sure tfa will eventually get surpassed in number of rewatches by aotc and rots bc i don't fw the direction of the ST but that's my #current ballpark estimate of my total number of rewatches #as an adult tho if i just wanna watch a star war i'll go with aotc bc it's fun and ends semihappily and i can turn my brain off for the #spinny lightsabers. it's great background noise or for if you're sick or whatever. rots on the other hand? i won't talk through that unless #i'm quoting it with my brother and i am LOCKED IN 100% entirely entranced by it all #i almost picked rogue one for the best quality answer but i think the character writing is weaker and the facial cgi is creepy. esb beats #it by a hair imho bc of that. the vader hallway scene goes hard tho!!!#also i'm not covering shows or games or books or anything else in this post - simply the films. might ask abt shows later but that might #also give me hives bc so many of the shows suck ass and i don't rlly want ppl extolling the virtues of t.bb in my notes 💀#and yes i do think one's enjoyment and one's opinion of quality are two things that often overlap. but sometimes you just like something #bad and that's awesome. like rots is the best of the prequels by a large margin and i adore the opening and characters and many of the #scenes but that doesn't mean it's the best star wars has to offer ykwim? it's my specialest most favoritest sw movie but that doesn't blind #me to the dialogue lmfaooo

do you think that Harrow would choose Alecto over Gideon?

I think that depends on how you mean it. Like if they were both dangling from a cliff and she could only save one of them? No fucking clue, and I hope to hell she never has to find out.

If she's choosing who to ask to prom, that's much easier. No. Gideon gets the corsage.

#her love for Alecto is a lot more abstract and less well rounded than her love for Gideon #she loves Gideon as a woman and Alecto as a god #she would sacrifice anything except Gideon in sevice to Alecto #and nothing except her duty to Alecto is more important to her than Gideon #it's a hard line she won't cross in either direction #and I don't see why she should have to #Gideon won't love it but she'll learn to deal when she's the one Harrow takes home at the end of the dance #the locked tomb

listen i know jack shit about the locked tomb but based off of a majority of the art ive seen of those two necromancing lesbians most of you couldnt actually bothered to do a quick google images search of what maori people actually look like and instead just draw them with white features over a Vaguely Brown skintone

#the locked tomb #gideon the ninth #harrow the ninth #nona the ninth #griddlehark #this isnt directed at any particular artist btw ive seen LOADS off ppl do this #and the tlt fandom arent the only guilty ones either #like im begging the pjo and tma fandoms to look up cherokee and south asian features respectively #bc if i see one more art of piper or jon with white features slapped on top of a brown base #i will actually start throwing bricks at ppl #og post //

but i mean if kr can do it, then i-

#this is vee speaking #i quite literally got home yesterday and sat my ass down to draw him LMAO #my feed was a bit of a mixed bag of reactions tho lol #like i had a few people on my feed saying they might have to start coming to terms with a direction hypmic is taking they don't rly like #and it's a sentiment i have seen growing since the bp albums i think and maybe even earlier when the leaders rather quickly made up #one fan i saw was wishing to go back to the vibe of the 2nd drb and 8th live hype and they're a fan who likes to analyse kuukou #so they're wanting content to overthink and instead are getting gooner material and i may be big on both but i get it lol #hypmic probably needs to lock back in lol it's been too long since EVERYONE had food for thought and not just like bb rei and fp stans lol #maybe the thirst trap is kr tryna signal everyone to come back since they're announcing daddy canon is back--#hm??? kuukou has nip and belly button piercings in my art???#well whaddya know he sure does wow!!!! that's pretty based imo LOL #vee is arting

death first to vultures and people who don’t tag nona spoilers

#the locked tomb #this isn’t directed at anyone in particular btw #i have no dog in the fight but it’s a courtesy thing for others #no one needs to do anything crazy but taking the extra two seconds to tag just ntn helps those trying to filter tags #which is. ya know. a major feature on this site #what im saying is a small thing can go a long way for someone!#let’s have a lil decorum #op

I know less than I’d like to about this, but if several of TLT’s main cast are intended to be of Māori descent, is the skull paint supposed to be a. Flanderization? Of Tā Moko tattoos? Is it a vague metatextual nod, or is it supposed to further cement how John’s actions, rather than his words, show how far he’s fallen from upholding what he promised to protect? Or am I talking out of my ass.

#gideon the ninth #the locked tomb #harrow the ninth #tlt spoilers #I feel like there’s more directions one could take the thinking but #for people who know the history better

That Awful OTP Meme, or: my Binah/Hod manifesto

I originally posted this on twitter but while this is mostly tongue-in-cheek I actually have a lot of thoughts on these two that are generally summarized by [god DAMN I love the interplay of two people who are varying degrees of Terrible]

or just, like, a Hannigram meme.

#fennelart #project moon #binah/hod #lobotomy corporation #lobotomy corporation spoilers #the thing is that binah has never had regrets. binah has never had the time or desire to let herself have regrets #hod on the other hand is Full of them. she is someone who is trying very hard to be a good person #but is going at it from an entirely selfish direction (circa lobcorp) and just ends up completely sucking anyway #which is honestly part of her appeal to me?#i like the idea of them picking each other apart which is a thing that is extremely one sided at first because. it’s Binah #but even binah is still human albeit an extremely fucked up one and I think if hod manages to poke her head out of her own issues she could #start to see where the lines are #also she (binah) is locked in a basement and bored as shit and will take anything remotely interesting at this point #hence where I put her on the devoted scale versus indifferent #could you call it romance?#it’s not healthy in the slightest but no ship with binah involved is lmao #anyway this whole essay in the tags is mostly to say I’m proud of myself for the black damage joke lmao #periodic black damage and a -50% debuff to your stats. its the give and take you know how it is #shoutouts to the person writing binah/hod in the ao3 tag like two years ago you thoroughly infected my brain

one major difference i have found between service industry work (in my case food service but this is widely applicable to similar jobs) and other public-facing positions is that the job itself is often very similar because people is the same, it's just in service everyone approaches you already thinking they're right and you're a fucking idiot and its their god given right to disrespect you, where in other positions even if they are not nice to you they usually acknowledge that you know more than them on issues pertaining to your job. like the difference in behaviour from people who see you as serving them vs helping them is unreal. i am doing literally the exact same things. customer is always right mentality did irreparable damage to the fabric of society
